Miyake & Sakai (1967) described a new species of axiid shrimp, Calocaris (Calastacus) amakusana, from a single female specimen lacking a major cheliped. Later, Sakai & de Saint Laurent, 1989 transferred this species to their new genus Acanthaxius. However, Sakai (2011) recently established a new monotypic genus Amakusaxius to accommodate Acanthaxius amakusana. Since the original description no ...

Due to the increased usage of wireless communications in personal, commercial, and governmental capacities, efficient spectrum utilization has become a prime topic of interest. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) governs spectrum usage and allocates specific ranges to licensed users. However, some spectrum ranges are overcrowded, while some are under-utilized. The overcrowded spectrum r...

Several analytical and numerical methods exist to solve the orbit propagation of the two-body problem. Analytic solutions are mainly implemented for the unperturbed/classical two-body problem. Numerical methods can handle both the unperturbed and the perturbed two-body problem. The literature is rich with numerical methods addressing orbit propagation problems such as, Gauss-Jackson, Higher ord...

The probabilistic method was developed by Paul Erdös and his collaborators as a technique for proving the existence of combinatorial objects by introducing an artificial probability distribution over them, and reasoning using the calculus of probability. The name is perhaps a bit of a misnomer in a probability course, but it was devised in a context where previously probability had little use. ...

BACKGROUND It is widely acknowledged that the presence of infection is an important outcome determinant for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In fact, antibiotics are one of the most common therapies administered in the ICU settings. AIM To evaluate the current usage of antibiotics in Latin American ICUs. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A one-day p-oint prevalence study to investigate the patterns o...
